Rules are not followed in some private colleges even after some students tested positive, they say
Amid a resurgence of coronavirus cases, a section of medical students has raised concerns over lax safety norms at classrooms and hostels in some private medical colleges even after instances of students testing positive for COVID-19 on campuses. Students say that even after switching the first and second year medical students to the online mode, the proportion of students for whom physical attendance is still the norm was too substantial to maintain distancing in classrooms. The use of thermal scanners at entry points is not uniformly followed and even after cases have been reported on campuses and in hostels, testing of potential contacts is not followed, students of a private medical college allege.More Related News
